Reza Shah Pahlavi Poster & Farsi Payment Receipt from Iran's Consulate in Istanbul

Description

This lot includes two historically significant items:

1. Poster of Reza Shah Pahlavi - The poster features Farsi text praising Shah Pehlevi for establishing unshakeable relations between the Iranian government and Turkey, reflecting Iran-Turkey diplomatic messaging during the Pahlavi era.

2. Farsi Payment Receipt from Iran's Consulate in Istanbul - Dated 12 Ramadan 1329 (6 September 1911), this receipt records a loan payment for hospital and school expenses. The school, referred to as Ghoroosh, had suffered several fires and was later converted into a hospital. The receipt indicates a payment amount of 50 units and was issued by Iran’s consulate in Istanbul (historically referred to as “City of Islam”).
